Sister to Regulus, the Sedbury Royal Mare – Family 11, 13, 4

Sister to Regulus – full brother Regulus (Godolphin Arabian) studbook origin, @family 11 and its branches @ Haplotype I2a1. Details to: mares Grey Wilkes & Hautboy mare/ > Sister to Old Country Wench = GREY ROBINSON https://www.pedigreequery.com/grey+robinson

Regulus daughter Sister to South, 4th dam Grey Royal https://www.pedigreequery.com/grey+royal Family 13 (1687) ancestress to Sovereign Edition, sire of K.Y. R’s 4th dam, Taiona. The scrutiny to 13 families (by G.S.B.) – the New Zealand sire O’Reilly (f.f.13-b) would also take another geno-type-affinity.

@ K.Y.R., the St Simon blood runs focus to female conduit, dam St Angela (f.f. 11-c).

(Pompeii Court/Tell – et al The Prince Lines – Indian Ridge – St Simon direct male descendants)

By Teddy multiples > his male line Orme from dam, Angelica, the daughter of St Angela. (again, f.f. 11-c). Super Champion NZ stayer sire, Le Filou has 3×4 Teddy plus, of S.S male line, >7s x 7d the big Fil goes seen to Grosvenor’s 2nd dam Gay Poss, her daughter My Tricia by Hermes is interestingly distaff @ f.f. 11-d.

Referencing Orme it is worth noting his direct male line culminates to Sir Cosmos sire of Knight’s Daughter dam of Round Table, sire of Tell, sire of Pompeii Court & seen to Sir Tristram.

8x War Admiral (MOW) his dam Brushup, from his distaff @ f.f. 11-g carrying St Simon through his son Persimmon with his daughter Permission carrying 5 strains to branches 11. All branches (according to Studbook) Sister to Regulus foundation. (note, ⚠️reserving, family 11-g haplotypes are of two: I2a1 & N2a, this considered generally to Family 1)

Man O War – through Sir Ivor daughter/distaff Salaminia (USA) + daughter Speed Boat (Damascus) & son, American Flag (Raise A Native). > 5X4 Sir Tristram.

5×4 Sir Tristram (Selene) family 6-e with KYR broodmare Per Incanto (USA) family 1-u are designated @ Haplotype L3a1b. 9x Selene, family 6-e, thru Pharamond male-line Buckpasser, Halo, distaff Sir Ivor – Hyperion, Moon Priestess + Schiavoni to Last Tycoon.

@ KYR distaff, family 7-d infuses Orme daughter Vane, 5th generation to New Zealand mare Hauteur, matriach breeding dam Taiona, dam of Melbourne Cup winner Guerners Lane (Australian Horse of the Year) beating Kingstown Town, though KT carried 3 kg more. Full brother Sovereign Red (a multiple G1 winner, distances 1000m to 2500m!) & full sister Trichelle, a G1 performer with 6 wins from 1200m to 2200m.

How the pedigree had evolved with attention to the ‘uncommon’ sire of the G.S.B. foundational pedigree is 🏇Robert the Devil.

History documents Robert the Devil and Bend Or met five times, where Bend Or won the first and last of five races, he could not stay the St leger distance and most certainly Robert was his superior as an autumn three-year old. Robert was undoubtedly the better stayer of the two and endured racing scandals of the day to Bend Or’s identity with alongside the objections to Bend Or’s running, the fowling upon Robert the Devil’s credibility.

Should it happen that Robert the Devil is awarded the bets, more than one bookmaker has expressed his intention of resigning the business rather than re-settle…. {The Judges’ verdict therefore remains undisturbed}. credit reference – https://www.thoroughbredracehorse.co.uk/investigation12.htm

Robert the Devil’s son Chittabob to race & train was unmanageable. It was stated ‘he would have proved himself a great horse if it was possible to train him’. Chittabob however did sire a chestnut daughter named Carlin producing a son Demosthenes who was a leading sire in New Zealand 1919/1920. His grand-daughter is Hautere (NZ).

Type-set > Robert the Devil has 3 strains to mare Guiccioli (IRE), matriarchal, a racing phenomenon @ family 11.

Born 1823, Guiccioli at 2 to 6 years was a very good racer. Ran as a 6 year old, after foaling and again in foal producing a healthy foal. Ran six times, won twice in the King’s Plates over 4 miles with heats in September at the Curragh and in Northumberland Handicap in October at the Curragh of 11 starters, amongst which were such good horses as Skylark, a 3 year old and Napoleon a 5 year old. 13 foals amongst which were Birdcatcher & Faugh-a-Ballagh. At 21 years living twins one of which was Gramachree, a foundation mare in family 11. At 24 years St John (later Carlow), a good racer 2 to 7 years old.

Guiccioli is the 6th dam distaff Sister of Regulus from Grey Robinson by Bald Galloway.

Striking geno similarities between Grey Robinson (family 11 & Grey Royal family 13, as Sedbury Royal mare(s), dated by 15 years) through sire Darcy’s White Turk, Places White Turk , are same (sire of Hautboy) + of family 4 Historical records: Mitochondrial DNA has shown that Family 13 shares the same maternal line as Families 4 and 11. As there is no identifiable link (?) between the families in historical records, the Sedbury Royal Mares which are the Foundation Mares of Families 11 and 13, and the Layton Barb Mare, Foundation Mare of Family 4, must all share a common maternal ancestor which predates the historical records.

New Zealand breeding

Three days before the 1980 Melbourne Cup, New Zealand bred Sovereign Red won the VRC Derby. Sovereign Red, one of Sir Tristram's first crop, was from the Sovereign Edition mare Taiona and Melbourne trainer Geoff Murphy got him for a mere $55oo at the 1979 Waikato Yearling Sale. When Sovereign Red went to stud himself, syndicated for $1.6 million. He had six Australian Group One wins to his credit. A year after she gave birth to Sovereign Red, Taiona mothered another Sir Tristram colt. This one had all sorts of problems as a youngster - an accident with a fence that endangered his life, and a wind affliction. On top of that he was an ugly foal. He was not good enough for the sale ring and eventually sent to Murphy by Hogan for $7000. Named Gurner's Lane by the syndicate that bought him, the horse was not as brilliant as Sovereign Red as a spring three-year-old. However, he won the AJC and VRC St Legers in the Autum at the same time as Grosvenor, Cossack Prince and Sir Trout all by Sir Tristram. As a four-year-old in the spring of 1982 Gurner's Lane began his march to the Caulfield-Melbourne Cups. Gurner's Lane took the Caulfield Cup, bolting in by 5 lengths on a sodden track, and earned a three kilograms penalty to take his Melbourne Cup weight to 56. Kingston Town back to his best after a long layoff, won the Cox Plate for a remarkable third successive time from Grosvenor and Axeman. Gurner's Lane was a good seventh. Sir Tristram won more newspaper space when Grosvenor captured the Victoria Derby a week later. Kingston Town, a Cup certainty according to Tommy Smith, stayed in his stable on Derby Day but Gurner's Lane ran a slashing second to Axeman in the McKinnon Stake. Gurner's Lane, ridden coolly by Queenslander Mick Dittman, got a lovely run on the rail and finished brilliantly to catch Kingston Town 15 metres from the line and score by a neck. Gurner's Lane victory made him only the seventh horse to win the coveted Cups double and the first since Galilee in 1966.  (credit extract November Gold by Max Lambert)

Final Comment

These defining profiles are type-setting deep.

Is it modern bred/commercial common? No.

Is it scarce? Almost. {contributions to the current population are very unequal, varying downwards from a maximum of 13.53% (Godolphin Arabian)https://www.academia.edu/20920375/Microsatellite_diversity_pedigree_relatedness_and_the_contributions_of_founder_lineages_to_thoroughbred_horses
